BEAUTIFYINe ARLINGTON.
How It Can BE Made More vaiuabI,
and Affirmative.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has adyo.
Gated many projects for the good Of Wash
ington, and among them has been the
proposition for the government to purchase
all the property at Arlington for the pur-
pose OF making II military reservation.
Capt. Symope, OF the water department, In
speaking to o reporter Of the REPUBLICAN
In regard to the matter, commends the plan
highly. lie suggests that, as long as the
government owned 1,100 acres OF ground
already on the site, IL would be wise thing
to purchase additional ground and concen-
trate all the regular troops over there. By
the expenditure OF reasonable sum
Cdn,d OF money the a,s0s military reservation
and oil the soldiers at the the Washington ' bar,
racks could be provided for. The arsenal
property, he held, could be sold for COM
mercfal purposes, and as IL stood now IL was
better adapted for that than for barracks.
1t was unhealthy for troops he proved by
reference to a report Of the surgeons OF the
post, due to the existence Of the James
creek canal. He thought that in place. OF
arching over this canal, and by diverting th Q
sewers from 1t and cleaning Il out, splendid
wharfage could bemade and rented al good
prices to business men. A part of the
grounds could be used as public park.
He thought that its best uses were for com
merce instead Of a military post. The Ar
lington property, and Fort Meyer reserva-
tion adjoining, would, in his judgment, be
q most valuable acquisition. Annual en-
campments could be held on the vast
lawn fronting the river, and he was
sure the Memorial bridge was an as.
sured thing. II military reserya-
tion was established and Mount Vernon
avenue and the bridge constructed there
would be no more fashionable place for
walk or a drive than this reservation.
Capt. Symons maintained that the heath
fulness OF the place was one desirable fea-
ture, and the erection OF suitable quarters
on the hill tops for the artillery aud cav
airy, or such troops as might be quartered
there, would add great value to the sur
rounding property.

"Say! You're on the REPUBLICAN, aren't

The scribe assented, and the gentleman
continued: ~ thought So saw you up

''If had should have taken some note

have seen It in Maj. Walkers manuscript,
which read very carefully after 1t was de.

"That's just what I expected" was the

interviewing the interviewer.
"Then,n he continued, "why did the
Post Of Wednesday morning report him as
saying something that neither you nor nor
